  • In true roguelikelike fashion, the game will get gradually easier the more items you unlock using Hegemony Credits, and the more people you unlock in the Breach.
  • Try the different characters, they have different abilities and starting items. Personally I think the hunter is best for beginners because they have more frequent drops and their crossbow is good enough to carry you through the first two floors if necessary. Other people swear its the marine because he has a faster reload speed and less spread with weapons. Its definitely not the convict.
